Market snapshot
These figures describe Litigation Finance (3.5.5), the segment that Commercial Litigation Finance Funds sits within — not Commercial Litigation Finance Funds on its own.
No discrete Census NAICS code — litigation finance sits within financial-investment and funds classifications (523/525), so the segment is not separately sized by the Census Bureau.
